The only Constitutional Convention in US history was called in 1787. At the time, it was known as the Philadelphia Convention, because the delegates simply intended to revise the Articles of Confederation, not write an entirely new Constitution.

The process of adoption by ratifications by the requisite number of states was completed in December 15, 1791.
